SUMMARY:Building Strategic Partners for DOD & NASA SBIR/STTR Proposals
DESCRIPTION:Building strategic partners for DOD and NASA SBIR/STTR projects is important – it shows that you have identified and addressed gaps in your team and presents a credible pathway to transitioning the technology to the agency\, often through a prime contractor. But while this is extremely important\, and can often be a key differentiator for your proposal\, it is not always an easy task to locate and engage a strategic partner\, integrate them into your project plan and explain how this alliance benefits the end user. This session will provide tips on how to acquire a strategic partner\, and discuss how to allocate tasks and budget to your partners.\nFunded in part through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration\nPresented by TechOpp Consulting\nCOST: Virginia based companies/Va.
